HDX cooling fan became too noisy

Posted by: Eugene on 16 June 2014

Probably a fan is too noisy because of dust. Is there any way to clean it without taking HDX to the service center?

Vacuum cleaner, on gentle setting.

Unfortunately it didn't help. I even tryed compressed air in a can. No result.

I've never seen an HDX's fan running. Maybe you should consider the unit's environment. If the fan has to run, the HDX is not ventilated enough and will eventually need frequent rebooting...

Work on conditions to prevent the fan from starting, problem solved at the source...

Try putting the hdx on the very top shelf of your rack, my fan never comes on.but once I put it on the second shelf, and the fan was on all the time.

Thank you for your advice. I will try to put it on the upper shelf
